Title: foxracer1's Race only Daily Driver build and KILL thread
Post by: foxracer1 on January 19, 2010, 11:58:25 am: Ok this is gonna be long. Mostly pics cause i don't like to type. But at the same time as i'm building the car i didn't take as many pics as i wished i would have. And when i did it was with a camera phone so quality is marginal.

Bought the car in Jan 2008 like this:

Post by: foxracer1 on January 19, 2010, 11:59:07 am: More pics of the way the car was when we arrive in kansas.

Most of the wires were chewed up by animals. there was a large nest right on the valve cover and bite and scratch marks on the outside from dogs trying to get the rodents.

Didn't take many pictures for awhile for some reason. Must have been enjoying the new engine so much.

3 days before Waterfest 15 decided to paint the roof and hood! Roof got checkers very time consuming to tape off. Didn't think it out that much before and realized after i was in to far to stop. Had a moth land in the final coat of clear and flail around releasing his moth dust and messing up a white sqaure. But other than that turned out good. Thanks go to my buddies dad joe for running the gun and use of the shop. Hood got painted black in the middle. Need to wet sand both and it'll be good enough. Wanna paint the rest of the car stock color. Some day.

Post by: foxracer1 on January 19, 2010, 05:16:55 pm: I believe i ordered the headgasket and pan gasket from myke_w on here. I believe the gasket came on late MKIII2.0l and most engines after that.

I did all the pump work myself. 91redjetta had a 10mm TDI pump that i used parts from.

Title: Re: foxracer1's Race only Daily Driver build thread
Post by: foxracer1 on January 22, 2010, 05:47:48 pm: Yeah i rememeber reading about that. Its not too bad i like it reminds me of the tractor pullers! Once its warm it runs real good.

But i feel it could use more timing since the peak cylinder pressure is down with the lower compression. Like i said i wanna run it on the dyno and see what make the most power than if its really high maybe back it off a notch so i'm not at the raged edge all the time. It is the daily driver.

Moving to cali this spring so won't have to worry too much about the cold starts out there.

The wastegate caught a piston piece. Meaning it was open when it happend then close precisely at the correct time to trap it!

Title: Re: foxracer1's Race only Daily Driver build thread
Post by: truckinwagen on February 02, 2010, 08:11:13 pm: how much of the stem is still attached to the valve?

my guess is that whatever came in your intake got caught in the valve, hanging it open.
then when the piston came up, it smashed it breaking the stem and dropping the head of the valve into the cylinder.

would be interesting to know ow far up the stem it broke though.

sorry to hear about this, it always seems to happen just after they get back on the road too...

I hate to make you feel like a guinea pig, but I would love to learn something here if there is, in fact, something to be learned. Sorry for your loss.

Post by: theman53 on February 03, 2010, 05:51:48 am: The crack in the piston on the 3rd pic looks bad. The rest should buff out and you should be on the road shortly.

Not really and that sucks. I am scared as can be that something like this is going to happen to my jetta when it is finally done. I am taking my time and using all good stuff, but just like you have proven sometimes it isn't enough. Let me know what your plans are to fix. I have my 1.6 n/a engine in the jetta now that has a brand new hydro head on it and bottom end needs attention. I am just going to pull it and sell it for the turbo to have a home. I am in ohio too.
Whatever you do good luck.

Edit: see it says you are going TDI now...I wish you even more luck.

I'm pretty sure thats what happend. Most of the valve stem is there. The valve head is obviously stuck in the piston.

I don't feel like a guinea pig. I wanted to post these to "inform you" give you something to see. Pretty sure something was in the intercooler and it was blown into the engine at high rpm and hung the exhaust valve.

It died quick and i pushed in the clutch as soon as it nosed over. You have no time when the piston is traveling that fast.

Post by: Rabbit on Roids on February 03, 2010, 07:27:57 am: my bet is a cracked lifter that turned sideways in the bore holding the valve open. ive seen there engines eat exhaust valves a hundred times before, just never on any of my engines. my 1.5 had that same thing happen. put a used piston and rod in it and its still goin strong.

Post by: Smokey Eddy on February 03, 2010, 10:46:03 am: Is the material in exhaust manifold, is it alluminum or steel?
Lets do some detective work.

My guess right now is thatttttttt it is...

a piece of casting from the IC that never got removed/broke off or something...

When i first pulled my new head out of the box it had some casting flaps i had to dremel off. Would have yielded similar results im sure had that piece tried to go through a valve.

Gonna mount a garbage disposal just before the intake to mulch anything into smaller edible bits for the engine

Post by: truckinwagen on February 03, 2010, 01:45:02 pm: where did you get the intercooler from?
what brand is it?

that sucks big time...

is the stem of the valve poking out the bottom of the piston?

Post by: foxracer1 on February 03, 2010, 02:06:36 pm: Bought the IC from a member on here used not sure of the brand. There wasn't much stem on the valve but you can see on the bottom of the piston it cracked it.

I may try to find a way to install some screen to catch any loose *** before it gets to the engine. As long as it its self doesn't become loose and cause probs.

my audi has/had a chrome steel grate in the intake pipe. it looks stock also. but it would still let the compressor get whammied pretty easy.

Post by: foxracer1 on February 03, 2010, 09:37:45 pm: Crank other 3 pistons and rods are ok but theres a nick in the cylinder wall and its already 1mm over so not sure if it 'll clean up enough to be reusable?

I'd probably buy one piston a rod and lightly hone the cylinder and run it in a low performance application. stock boost and such. Guess you could always sleeve it if needed.
